We just tried debugging this and couldn't get this to break. Is this still happening to you today? If so, do you see any errors in the JS console? Which Firefox version are you seeing this on, and do you have any addons installed?

I tried with 143.0.1 with a fresh profile and it's still happening. Forgot to mention that it only happens when logged in.

Tested more thoroughly and found out that clicking the same profile page and going back can also trigger it. It also occurs with the browser back function, either using the back button or back gesture.

Here is a test with Firefox 143.0.4 on macOS

It didn't happen before but it does now even with very old versions (e.g. 137, 130 and 128) so I suppose it could be something from Threads.

Just found out that it always happens with the "Following" tab.
